João Almeida withdrew from participating in the time trial at the cycling World Championships, despite having finished third in the individual effort at the Vuelta a España. The Portuguese rider will only be scheduled for the road race.
Nelson Oliveira will be the Portuguese representative in the time trial race, which takes place on Sunday. The athlete seeks to achieve his seventh top-10 in this competition, which would represent a significant achievement in his career.
The Portuguese selection for the World Championships thus features two main names, with Almeida focused exclusively on the road race and Oliveira centered on the time trial. Almeida's decision not to participate in the time trial comes after a season where he demonstrated solid capabilities in this discipline.
